My Own Abortion

by Andrea   Jan 21, 2004


The doctors told me it would not hurt.
It did not hurt my womb where the baby grew...
It hurt me...
it never hurt you
They did not tell me it would hurt like this...
deep inside of me
All i can think about while I am lying on this table all I can think about is how different things could be.

i believe we would have had a boy
i would have called him my bundle of joy...
we went searching for names, Johnny was the one that you proclaimed.
I believe he would have had blond hair like you
Eyes of my brightest blue.

I believe we would have bought a home
With a forest in the back so my johnny could roam.
A creek by the side with frogs and toads
That wound and followed our little dirt road.

I believe that we would have gotten wed.
And what a wonderful life we would have led.
We would have had a family and a boat in which all summer we would bask and float.

I believe that you would have fallen in love with me
For all the things that I can never be
I believe that you would have cared
And what a life we could have shared.
